Iād be interested to see if theyād respond. Might be better to contact his agent if you can find out who they are.
If Chris does end up with bigger problems then he could be a good ally for us.
Superdrug pushing the āside effects disappear with cessationā line is a shame.
This is part of why we all need to help with our contentās visibility. When that Express journalist Googled, they might not have seen any of our content. If they had, they might well have asked for a comment from us. Really, a good short term sign of success for us would be getting asked to comment on articles like this. The fact that a throwaway part of a three hour show got an article written about it says that people are interested.
You can bet,that Evansā team will log his presence in the news and media and that if we had also been in the article that weād have a stronger chance of getting paid attention to by him, potentially finding an ally.
If Chris ever does see this, weād love to support you, but we could also really do with your support too.

Thanks @Greek if I get a response it goes without saying that Iād engage the team. As youāll be aware from my recent posts and your supporting comments that Iāve been going through a very tough time of late but I will always help where and when I can. Getting recognition and help for all of us has always been my number 1 priority and playing a part in the wider effort is very important to me.

Certainly not a comment that was aimed at anyone in particular, especially not you who have been fantastic.
I know youāve had a rough time mate, you absolutely donāt deserve it. Iām always thinking of you.

I feel that Chris Evans would be a fantastic ally. Great find there @LazarusRy. Although Iāve not listened to him for years, from what I know of him he always comes across as incredibly honest about himself, like what has been demonstrated from the article. Iām sure that has also included his taking finasteride as I think heās been honest about this too for years. Some great points raised by @Greek too.

@Greek my use of the English language isnāt as it was, I meant a comment as in a supportive one , as youve always been. Thank you mate your input/words mean a lot as ever. Cheers @Scotsman I think he could be great for us, hopefully my attempted contact wont end up in the sifted out pile.

Thereās also an article about him having kidney problems. @Greek Iāve also found an email address for him at BBC2. Iāll do a brief draft at some piont next week if youād like to have a look before I send it. Regards
Great, I imagine thereās next to no chance that heāll see that email though - heās not on BBC anymore, is he?

I was the same as him I developed sides while taking it. Then got much worse on cessation I expect once you show signs its unlikely they go away when one stops its still worth sounding him out and making him aware of whats potentially around the corner. I wish Iād had someone looking out for me way back when. If he crashes heās got the heads up and somewhere to come for support rather than feeling alone with no answers as I was many a time. If he does crash his vocality would be invaluable and heād have support from us. I do get your point though thanks

Are there really some pfs sufferers, who used Finasterid without any siteeffect and than after ceassion they crashed. On the other hand - developes every pfs praedisponated symptoms allready on finistarid and crashs after stopping.
So the Chance getting off Finistarid without pfs is bigger if there are no siteeffects while Fin using.
